Abstract
A computer enclosure includes a chassis, a mounting bracket, and a pull tab. The mounting bracket is mounted to the chassis. The mounting bracket includes a resilient clip. A fastener is located on the resilient clip. The pull tab is located between the chassis and the mounting bracket. The pull tab is engaged with the mounting bracket. A channel is defined in the pull tab and extends along a first direction. The fastener extends through the channel, and the pull tab is removable along the first direction with the fastener guided by the channel.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A computer enclosure comprising:
a chassis; a mounting bracket mounted to the chassis, the mounting bracket comprising a resilient clip, a fastener located on the resilient clip; and a pull tab located between the chassis and the mounting bracket, the pull tab comprising a supporting board, a resilient holding board extending from the supporting board, and a channel in the pull tab and extending along a first direction, the supporting board being substantially parallel to the resilient clip in an original state, the resilient holding board being engaged with the resilient clip of the mounting bracket; wherein the fastener extends through the channel, and the pull tab is removable along the first direction with the fastener guided by the channel.
2 . The computer enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the channel extends along a straight line.
3 . The computer enclosure of claim 2 , wherein the mounting bracket further comprises a top board, a receiving space is defined between the top board and the chassis, and the pull tab is partially located in the receiving space.
4 . The computer enclosure of claim 3 , wherein a slot is defined between the top board and the resilient clip, the slot travels along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and the resilient clip is substantially parallel to a plane of the top board.
5 . The computer enclosure of claim 1 , wherein an annular groove is defined around the fastener to engage with the resilient clip.
6 . The computer enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises a body, a locking hole is defined in the resilient clip, and the body is deformably engaged in the locking hole.
7 . The computer enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises a foot, and a mounting hole is defined in the chassis for receiving the foot.
8 . The computer enclosure of claim 1 , wherein the resilient holding board is oblique to the supporting board, and the resilient holding board is deformable by the supporting board.
9 . The computer enclosure of claim 8 , wherein the pull tab further comprises a handle connected to the resilient holding board, and the handle is located at a side of the mounting bracket.
10 . (canceled)
11 . A computer enclosure comprising:
a chassis; a mounting bracket mounted to the chassis, the mounting bracket comprising a resilient clip, a fastener located on the resilient clip; and a pull tab located between the chassis and the mounting bracket, the pull tab engaged with the mounting bracket, and a channel defined in the pull tab and extending along a first direction; wherein the resilient clip is rotatable from a first state where the fastener extends through the channel and the pull tab is removable along the first direction with the fastener guided by the channel, to a second state where the resilient clip is deformed and the fastener is disengaged from the channel.
12 . The computer enclosure of claim 11 , wherein the channel extends along a straight line.
13 . The computer enclosure of claim 12 , wherein the mounting bracket further comprises a top board, a receiving space is defined between the top board and the chassis, and the pull tab is partially located in the receiving space.
14 . The computer enclosure of claim 13 , wherein a slot is defined between the top board and the resilient clip, the slot travels along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and the resilient clip is substantially parallel to a plane of the top board at the first state.
15 . The computer enclosure of claim 11 , wherein an annular groove is defined around the fastener to engage with the resilient clip.
16 . The computer enclosure of claim 11 , wherein the fastener comprises a body, a locking hole is defined in the resilient clip, and the body is deformably engaged in the locking hole.
17 . The computer enclosure of claim 11 , wherein the fastener comprises a foot, and a mounting hole is defined in the chassis for receiving the foot.
18 . The computer enclosure of claim 11 , wherein the supporting board being substantially parallel to the resilient clip in the first state, the pull tab comprises a supporting board and a resilient holding board oblique to the supporting board, and the resilient holding board is deformable and is engaged with the resilient clip.
19 . The computer enclosure of claim 18 , wherein the pull tab further comprises a handle connected to the resilient holding board, and the handle is located at a side of the mounting bracket.
20 . (canceled)
21 . The computer enclosure of claim 4 , wherein the slot substantially extends to a middle portion of the top board.
22 . The computer enclosure of claim 14 , wherein the slot substantially extends to a middle portion of the top board.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
